Additional Important Travel Info

Secure Flight Overview

Secure Flight is a behind the scenes program that enhances the security of domestic
and international commercial air travel through the use of improved watch list matching.
By collecting additional passenger data, it will improve the travel experience for
all airline passengers, including those who have been misidentified in the past.
When passengers travel, they will be required to provide the following Secure Flight
Passenger Data (SFPD) to their airline
when making a reservation:
1. Name as it appears on government-issued I.D. when traveling
2. Date of Birth
3. Vouchers (if applicable)
4. Gender
5. Redress Number (if available)
The airline will transmit this information to Secure Flight, who uses it to perform
watch list matching. This serves to prevent individuals on the No Fly List from
boarding an aircraft and to identify individuals on the Selectee List for enhanced
screening. After matching passenger information against government watch lists,
Secure Flight transmits the matching results back to airlines.
